    Settling in at the Universidad de Sevilla

    October 13, 2025 /

    Hey! My name is Lauren. I study Politics and Spanish at UOM and I’ll be sharing my journey of my year abroad in Sevilla, Spain. To help those who will be doing study or work placements abroad in the future, I will be sharing the trials and tribulations of moving abroad from the perspective of a student, a foreigner in Spain and as a vegan (in a country where this is admittedly challenging at times). So far, it’s been exciting and stressful to say the least. Seville is a beautiful city and everyday I’m seeing why so many people have told me that it has a special feel for them.…

    Meat- free in Mexico – can it be done?

    July 22, 2020 /

    Travel with a dietary restriction can be hard, but luckily in Mexico, many places are coming around to the idea that not everyone eats meat, animal products, or gluten.  In more cosmopolitan areas, such as Cholula, la zona rosa ‘the pink zone’ and La Condensa of Mexico City, and touristy areas like Isla Holbox just a stone’s throw from Cancun, you can often find restaurants specifically dedicated to the alternative-eaters among us – or at least recognition on the menu. In fact, there was an amazing vegetarian taqueria on my street in Cholula, meaning I was actually able to try soya-based alternatives for the classic dishes I’d been dying to…

'My friends and I took a day trip to the Toronto Islands while the weather is still warm. We hired bikes and cycled around the whole island, taking regular photo breaks! (The CN Tower featuring in most photos, of course). Thinking about going abroad as part of your degree but you don't know where to start 🤔 The Go Abroad team is sending a massive welcome to all of our students at the start of this year 👋 "My mid-semester break road trip around the South Island of New Zealand. Some of these photos are from Roy’s Peak, the Franz Josef glacier, brunch in Christchurch and watching a rail jam in Wanaka." - from our GA Imogen in New Zealand! "My first few weeks in Sydney settling in by seeing the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, swimming in the North Sydney Olympic Pool, going whale watching, and going to Bronte beach" - from our GA Lucy in Sydney, Australia! "What a way to spend the teaching break- exploring Kuala Lumpur, George Town and Langkawi, Malaysia" from our GA Elena in Australia! "Skiing in 'Fart Bags' in the Chilean Andes" - from our Global Ambassador Romany in Chile! 🎿 'Cycling through the seasons in Amsterdam' "My first two weeks in Perth! I’ve had a proper Aussie induction through AFL and rugby games, meeting a koala (and snake!) and decorating my own boomerang. Despite it being winter, I have also spent a lot of time by the sea, at Scarborough and Cottelsoe Beaches and visited Matilda Bay on Swan River (not even a 5 minute walk from campus). Through St Catherine’s College, I attended my first Formal Hall (the academic gown) and visited an incredible viewpoint overlooking the Perth skyline." from our GA Elizabeth in Australia 🐨🇦🇺🧡 #uomgoabroad #globalambassador
